Normally, European racing car constructors do not directly participate
in racing activities as works teams, since they are afraid that
if they do, general car users tend to look to them as being
race-only companies. Then, why is DOME is taking part in racing
activities although it is a racing car constructor? This was
simply because at the outset there was no team that intended
to use our products or technology. In recent years, we have
developed our own style of activities combining racing car development
and racing activities, in line with the F1 regulations stating
that participating teams are confined to racing car constructors.
This is ideally suited to the development of HONDA's NSX of
which we are currently in charge; development, testing, racing
and improvement activities are synergistically combined to form
a cycle in the most effective way.
Since we have no intension of entering our DOME S101 and other
commercial racing cars for overseas markets into races as works
cars, our racing efforts will continue to focus on domestic
races. Accordingly, as a result of our thorough commitment to
racing activities as a racing car constructor, the DOME Racing
Team makes a clear distinction in terms of overall competence
by incorporating the development of a variety of racing cars,
the application of aerodynamics experiment results to racing,
data collection and analysis using various instrumentation systems,
a sophisticated racing system including designer- and engineer-led
car settings, competitive racing strategy planning and driver
control by staff with accumulated experience in racing, sponsor-finding
and public relations.
